no, teacher, i do not have 400+ dollars to pay for 2 books by tomorrow so we can start chapter one for a book that was on a syllabus i received yesterday.

Five kids and one cell-phone hotspot; a low-income family in Los Angeles is trying to ensure its kids can learn virtually

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Sad but not surprising. The Senate GOP chose to let $600 a week in unemployment benefits expire for 30 million Americans, but had no problem giving the Pentagon another $740 billion. We need new national priorities. Let's stand with workers, not the Military Industrial Complex.

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Several athletes are opting out of the 2020 season due to Covid concerns. These athletes are in a controlled environment with consistent testing and will also lose millions of $$.

Teachers will have little control of their environment, have zero testing and are vastly underpaid.

“I Hate my child” protest

so schools can’t force students to wear a mask... but they can force girls to cover up when they wear a spaghetti strap tank top??? ok.

[Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian]

So puzzled that schools can't regulate if students wear a mask but can measure shirt hems, adjudicate whether a top is sleeveless, and judge what is acceptable hair color.

Imagine putting kids first

[James Scott @LongerTables]

So, Betsy Devos today said "only" .02% of kids are likely to die when they go back to school.
😐
That's 14,740 children.

Here...here is why teachers are scared.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

Behind Betsy DeVos, on her bookshelf, is every book she has ever read on education, teaching methodology, how to dismantle racism in schools and the books she has authored about her experience as an educator.

[Josh Taylor @ModernMouseJosh]

I saw a teacher friend of mine post "I wonder how social distancing will work when we run school shooter drills in the classroom this Fall."

Everything. About. This. Sentence. Is. Wrong.

Ask yourself how we got here?

[Camden Persigehl @CPersigehl]

Schools are not daycares and teachers are not paid like essential workers putting their lives at risk. Keep your kids and home. #remotelearning is the way to go.

[Camden Persigehl @CPersigehl]

Teachers need to band together and refuse to return to schools this fall. No matter how much you hate Zoom, a teacher’s salary is no where near what it should be if you are risking a respiratory disease that could kill you or cause life long damage to your respiratory system.

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

am I understanding this correctly? covid-19 is so deadly that Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen had to be released from prison early, but it's also so benign that we need to be packing the nation's children back into their schools pronto? ok cool, that checks out

[pierce @PEisenmenger]

It blows my mind that I grew up in Nebraska, only a couple hours from the hometown of Malcom X and don’t remember spending more than 15 mins if that learning about him in high school.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

In 1855, a young enslaved black woman named Celia killed a white man who raped her.

A Missouri judge stated that an slave woman had no right to refuse her “master.” She was later convicted of murder and hanged.

To overcome racial inequality, we must confront history.

My big takeaway from YA LIT today is a point made by @JasonReynolds83. Poetry can be a great tool for introducing reluctant readers to literature because it can be shorter and less intimidating, but still tell a full story. #poetrycommunity #UNOYAL20
